Four Sensors, One Compact Gimbal
Zoom, Wide, Thermal, and Rangefinding in a Single Payload
The SIYI ZT30 packs four distinct sensors into one 3-axis stabilised gimbal: a 30× optical (up to 180× hybrid) zoom camera, a wide-angle camera for situational context, a 640×512 radiometric thermal camera, and a laser rangefinder reaching out to 1200m. Instead of choosing a single-purpose payload, operators get zoom detail, thermal detection, wide-field awareness, and precise distance measurement from the same aircraft, on the same flight.
At 870g including its quick-release anti-vibration claw mount, the ZT30 is built to swap between aircraft in the field without tools, while the mount itself isolates the sensors from rotor vibration for steadier footage. It connects over Ethernet for video output and supports S.Bus, UART, or UDP for control signal input, with native compatibility for both ArduPilot and PX4 flight stacks via MAVLink.
30× Optical, 180× Hybrid Zoom
Identify distant details with genuine optical zoom before hybrid digital zoom takes over for extreme reach, all from a 1/2.7-inch 8MP sensor.
640×512 Radiometric Thermal
A true thermometric thermal camera reports actual temperature data, not just a heat-colored image, at 30fps.
1200m Laser Rangefinder
Measure precise distance to a target from 5 to 1200 meters, with accuracy down to ±1m at closer ranges.
Quick-Release, Tool-Free Mount
The included anti-vibration claw mount attaches and detaches in one action, letting operators swap the pod between aircraft in the field.
Built for Inspection, Surveying & Search Operations
Split-image, synchronized zoom lets operators view zoom and thermal feeds side by side while both track the same target simultaneously — useful for confirming a thermal anomaly's exact visual location, or vice versa. Limitless yaw rotation and both nose-mount and upside-down mounting modes give integrators flexibility across different aircraft designs and mission profiles.

All Four Sensors, Up Close
The front face packs the 30× zoom lens, the wide-angle camera, the thermal imaging sensor, and the laser rangefinder aperture into a single housing — each visible here without the mount attached.
Included: Quick-Release Anti-Vibration Claw
The ZT30 ships with this tool-free mounting claw, which isolates the pod from rotor vibration and lets operators swap it between aircraft in the field in one action, including upside-down mounting.
Zoom & Thermal, Working Together
Split-image, synchronized zoom keeps both feeds locked onto the same target at once.
30× Optical
180× Hybrid Zoom
A 1/2.7-inch 8MP sensor behind a 4.8–149mm lens delivers genuine optical reach before hybrid digital zoom extends it further, for identifying fine detail at distance.
640×512 Thermal
+ 1200m Laser
Radiometric thermal imaging reports real temperature data at 30fps, while the onboard laser rangefinder measures target distance out to 1200m for precise geolocation.
Every Tool for Professional Payload Work
The SIYI ZT30 Optical Pod packs four sensors, precise stabilisation, and field-swappable mounting into one integrated pod.
30× Optical, 180× Hybrid Zoom
Identify distant detail with real optical zoom, extended further by hybrid digital zoom when you need to reach beyond it.
640×512 Radiometric Thermal
Genuine thermometric imaging reports actual temperature values, not just a heat-colored overlay, at 30fps.
1200m Laser Rangefinder
Measure precise target distance from 5 to 1200 meters, supporting accurate geolocation and target tracking.
88° Wide-Angle Camera
Maintain situational context around the zoomed-in target with a dedicated 2K wide-angle feed.
3-Axis Gimbal, ±0.01° Vibration
Yaw, pitch, and roll stabilisation with limitless yaw rotation keeps footage steady across demanding flight conditions.
Quick-Release, Tool-Free Claw
Swap the pod between aircraft in the field in one action, with vibration-dampening built into the mount itself.
ArduPilot & PX4 Compatible
Native MAVLink support integrates directly with the two most widely used open flight stacks.
4K Recording, Ethernet Output
Records up to 4K video onboard while streaming live video over a dedicated Ethernet interface.
microSD, Up to 128GB
Onboard storage on a Class 10 microSD card keeps recorded footage and stills with the pod, independent of the ground link.
Built for Professional Inspection & Surveillance
The SIYI ZT30 Optical Pod suits integrators and operators who need multiple sensor types from a single payload.
Industrial & Powerline Inspection
Split-image zoom and thermal let inspectors spot both visual defects and heat anomalies on the same equipment in one pass.
Search & Rescue
Thermal detection locates missing persons in low light or dense cover, while the rangefinder helps confirm precise location.
Surveying & Mapping
The laser rangefinder and wide-angle camera support accurate distance measurement and site documentation.
Security & Surveillance
Long-range zoom and thermal detection support perimeter monitoring and night-time patrol operations.
Agriculture & Wildlife Monitoring
Thermal imaging reveals livestock or wildlife hidden by vegetation or darkness across large survey areas.
UAV, UGV & USV Integration
The quick-release mount and standard interfaces make the ZT30 straightforward to integrate across aerial, ground, and marine platforms.
